An interesting point was brought to my attention today, the fact that the mollecular structure of an atom could be influenced by the mere perception of it. A bit like connecting a volt meter across the a resistive circuit, the (high) resistance of the meter will affect the value of the final measurement. This is delving into quantum theory just a bit, I need to brush up before I go any deeper. But this analogy backs up my fore-reasoning of what I considered to be the fundamentals of human conciousness and the structure of the society and surroundings that we have created and are accustomed to in our everyday lives. A thought is, in itself, a reality, whether is be a daydream or a hallucination, or the thoughts of a visionary engineer, the fact that it has been perceived by the human brain (which is complicated beyond our understanding) makes it actual.

Steve and Julie are off to foreign climbs, the thing I really respect about their decision is that it is mostly spontaneous and also the, “You only live once!” attitude that Steve admirably harbours. Their leaving party was at the Windsor Tavern last night and there was quite a turn out, met up with some old freinds including James Watts of all people who I have not seen for a L O N G time and he’s still as ugly as ever (only kidding of course…I still couldn’t bring myself to ask him to do a tortoise impression though). Julian Binks looking well, Lee Watson who I’m sure isn’t too affable or amiable with me as I used to fancy his wife! (before they were together). Forgot how sweet Julie is and what a lucky man Steve is, who was proudly showing off photographs of his son playing football and rightly so. I felt very Single throughout the night as everyone had their partners along with them and I was kinda towing along behind most of the time. Have some photo’s that I will upload later if they came out ok.
I’ve just learned something quite interesting, the term for annoying emails “SPAM”, originates from the Monty Python Sketch in which a restaurant serves all its food with lots of spam, and the waitress repeats the word several times in describing how much spam is in the dishes served on the menu. When she does this, a group of Vikings (don’t ask) in the corner start singing:
“Spam, spam, spam, spam, spam, spam, spam, spam, lovely spam! Wonderful spam!”
Please! No pretentious comments!

I was at the gym this morning for 3 hours, I nearly always spend 15 mins or so in the steam room afterwards which is relaxing and has menthol scented steam which is great for my nose/sinuses. Normally it’s empty and I can wander around making strange noises whilst swinging various limbs around. Though if there is somebody in there, or if someone comes in, I sit down very civilized and behave myself, occasionally a comment or a few maybe passed but I never start a conversation with a practically undressed man who has nothing but a towel/pair of speedo’s protecting his dignity. Having said that, this is a unisex steam room and the occasional woman does walk in usually in swim wear, but never the fit ones you see working out in the gym (tsk). Today however, there was a lady in there who was breathing purposefully deeply and making a lot of noise about it too, I found this quite irritating. One thing about the steam room is that it is made of plastic and the steam condenses all over the inside, including the ceiling, so every time the door closes quite a few large drops of water fall inside. So, I leave to get a cold shower close the door…hard, shower then return. 10mins later I do the same and she leaves….Yay! Room to myself. It maybe my antics had no effect whatsoever on her decision to leave, she might have just been hot.

Hmmm…Well things are changing once again, I have a bit of spare time on my hands, I’ve set up the laptop and all’s tickety boo. Errr… Chain’s back in the land of strange talking people and Hovis bread, I’m getting excessively bored and wonder what it is I will have to do now. My liver enzyme levels are up so I will have to knock the booze on the head otherwise I’ll end up dead, when I used to get bored I’d go down the pub which is quite boring really so I’d have to drink to enjoy myself. So now I will probably become a total nerd and immerse myself in some kind of adult education, that’s if they’ll let me in the door. This place is a complete shambles and I’ve made a promise to myself to organise it, I’ll write that on my ever growing “ToDo” list that i seem to have lost… Must also write on it, “Find to do list.”

Good lord I do talk some crap sometimes! But never mind, I will leave it posted and give myself a good laugh at some point in the future. You may notice the removal of the music file player as I couldn’t get it to work with IE…Never Mind Eh?

What is it I need to do now? I see Chris has made some interesting entries in his blog, check my links. Will anyone ever succumb to the fact that I am not a ninetafiver, and will I be able to persuade my peer’s that I need to be let free…

Well things have been set adrift as I predicted, maybe from now I will be able to calculate my self worth and do something of importance.

Why i can’t get this plugin thingy to work so comments can be left I really don’t know… Anyhow bought some new speakers and had to bypass the overload protection as the woofer kept dying… Yes, I like my music loud! Ended up popping a fuse in my amplifier which is a quite cool Arcam series II I got for a reasonable price off ebay, I now have a tray of fuses purchased from Maplins, I may as well hand the receipt into work and obtain a portion of petty cash in return of the repair of several appliances, it will probably be that a majority of them will be used for the repair of boilers/controls owned by their customers. Currently quite bored playing some tunes, reflecting on issues of no particular importance and generally mellow.

As you may notice there’s a mp3 player under the header, also you may notice if you use Microsoft Internet Explorer, it doesn’t work properly, though in Firefox it works perfectly. If you click play in IE you will notice it will load a playlist that has absolutely nothing to do with where my HTML points to (my URL). It seems to load some strange internet radio channel that plays a load of seemingly unheard of tracks by vague artists and ignores the code I put in linking it to my server where I have uploaded tracks that I wanted to be in the playlist. (GASP!(*takes a deep breath*)). I don’t get it, can anyone help before I pick up this machine, hurl it through the window, go into the garden, collect the remains and piss all over them!
Today I went to London… I decided to get the train from Polegate instead of the town centre station where it is impossible to park, cheaply. The only other Eastbourne station is Hampden Park, this I ruled out straight away as the area seems to be ruled by Chavs and I was concerned I’d return to my car upside down and maybe with a small family squatting inside. Polegate however, is not too busy, has a large car park, ticket office all nice and open plan and easy peasy. But as I entered the High Street which is usually unpopulated by large vehicles and long queues (when the level crossing isn’t closed), I end up in a queue of traffic blocked by two buses, two car spaces forward and an articulated lorry appears from a side turning, then another lorry decides to do a 3 point turn, one space more and some pillock lets out yet another artic from the same side turning….You get the picture, all in all this normally quite(ish) little high street had at one point, in various modes of maneuvering, 4 articulated lorries, 3 buses and another 3 large vans plus all the other traffic, all because of the knob heads that decided it was a good plan to hold the entire population of Eastbourne up to do their deed for the day and let them all out…. OK, so I’m moaning, normally it wouldn’t bother me as I’d be at work and being paid to sit on my arse watching idiots thinking they are setting a good example to other drivers by being polite, (if they had driven through, the road would’ve been clear within a minute, I’m sure the lorry drivers wouldn’t have been bothered too much, plus they could’ve turned out onto an empty road a lot easier!) when in reality they’re clogging the town up!
We all know the story of the old lady off to deliver a cake to her gentleman friend in the next town one sunny Monday morning, she gets in her Citreon 2CV6, pulls out the choke and hangs her handbag on it, drives along the main “A” road to the next town at 30mph with a 2 mile queue of infuriated drivers behind her. No one in the queue can overtake because of the winding road. When she arrives at her Gentleman friends’ house, he welcomes her with a peck on the cheek and asks how the drive in was? “Oh lovely,” she replies, “Not another car on the road.”
Anyway I met a lady friend in Piccadilly Circus and we had lunch, all very nice and will be in London again in a few weeks so Helen, find a jacket spud restaurant, although the salad today was mighty fine. Attended my appointment at the Neurological Hospital, spoke to Dr. Lee and his associates including a Dietician, Liver Specialist and some lady Doctor who just nodded and smiled the whole way through, to be honest I think she had drawn eyes on her glasses and was actually nodding off! Have to go back soon to get some up to date info on phenylalanine free foods and recipes, another day off work, Yay!
Blimey…That’s long winded, better wrap up or else you’ll have squares imprinted on your forehead where you’ve fallen asleep on the keyboard.
